The Progressive Media has been hyping that Texas will turn into a Democratic State. The basis for this assumption is the growing Hispanic population in that state. Well a new Poll comes out that throws cold water on this theory. More than half of Texas Hispanics call themselves Conservative. This doesn’t surprise me as I have encountered many of my Tejano (Hispanic Texans) cousins and they are even more Conservative than I, especially on social issues. Texas is one of those states where discussing social issues works in the GOP’s favor. This is drawing many Tejanos into the Right and rejecting the Totalitarian Progressive Movement and their attempts to enslave them.
AUSTIN – A bent to conservatism and family makes Hispanics a promising pool of votes for Republicans, but the party’s targeting of illegal immigrants has withered its attraction.
Regardless, Gov. Rick Perry has fared relatively well, perhaps because of his anti-Washington rhetoric and his careful immigration stance, a recent poll indicates.
It shows more than half of Texas Hispanics call themselves conservative, and a surprising 23 percent say they might participate in Tuesday’s GOP primary. Among those, Perry leads Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison by 2 to 1, according to the poll, commissioned by an Austin consultant for a national group of Hispanic legislative leaders.
Read the rest here: More than half of Hispanics identify as conservative, poll finds
With control of the Education system, the Left has erased the true history of Hispanics. Instead they emphasize victimhood and teach us that we are inferior to whites. Thankfully, in my case my Spaniard Grandfather taught me about the 700 year Resistance to Arab Aggression and how for 150 year the Spanish Empire had the world by the balls. This gave me pride and lead me to reject the slave mentality that many of my fellow Hispanics have. This is why I despise Progressives, because it is personal to me. They lied about my history and view me as inferior. They only racially insult any Rightwing Hispanic like Marco Rubio, who doesn’t accept subservient status.
The article of course downplays the findings by claiming that 70% define themselves as Democrats. This doesn’t mean anything, remember the Reagan Democrats? They were White Catholics who, although Democrats, voted for Reagan in 1980 and 1984. Many switched to the GOP and their Children also vote Republican. Hispanics are no different. Contrary to the racist Progressive myth the Hispanic experience is closer to the White Catholic one, than the Black experience in America. We are an immigrant group and like all before want to achieve the American dream. The Totalitarian Progressives don’t want Hispanics to succeed. They want us to live in Ghettos and be their serfs as they have tried to do to Blacks. Well I have news for the racist Left, it isn’t going to happen!

Not possible. Coconuts aren’t grown in TX.
/Need I?
It’s a common trait among Hispanics, and others of ‘color’. The fed upness is gaining momentum across the racial spectrum. Bow to that B. Hussein.
@ song_and_dance_man:
Yup, many are waking up to the Progressives and their myth of racial superiority.
I’m sure this isn’t the case in California. At least not LA or SF.
So what’s the solution to the illegal immigration problem mentioned early in the article? Is that a valid concern or not? And if so, how do conservatives focus on illegal immigrants as the problem and not those who came here legally?
@ mfhorn:
It is a valid concern. It’s how the debate is framed. It should be framed as a National security, Law and Order and Fairness issue. Some frame it cultural which turns off some Hispanics. Most Hispanics are anti-Illegal. It’s how teh debate is framed.
Blacks are also opposed to Gay MArriage, for instance. Sometimes people don’t vote their inclinations. Jus’ sayin’…
@ Truck Monkey:
Too funny! I did find a coconut on the beach in Surfside a month after Ike. Actually several of them. We figured they were “carried” here from the carabian via the storm.
Correct Rodan, for all these years progressives aren’t interested in abolishing slavery but rather shackle it onto all they can.
@ teacake:
Nope, California it’s too late. The Progressives have enslaved the Hispanic population there. Although many like Paul Rodriguez have woken up.
I heard this Texas poll earlier today on the radio.
My first thought was , bad news for Democrats.
My second thought was when will Dem Hispanics attack them
as traitors?
This is like trying to pick wild blackberries: the fruit is sweet, but if you don’t do it right, you can end up with scratches and thorns. In addition to having to make absolutely sure that the illegal problem is separate and apart from the the issues facing legal residents and citizens, you also have to tiptoe around the Hispanic/Black divide.
We need to remember that icons of the Hispanic left, such as Caesar Chavez, were also anti-illegal. Illegal immigration is something to benefit the bosses and political operatives; the legal immigrants and citizens aren’t that sympathetic.
And it’s a completely disingenuous lie that citizens are afraid to prove their citizenship in order to vote.
@ Rodan:
Here’s part of your Californian problem. With clowns like this making excuses for law breakers, is there any hope?
BTW – I am married to a coconut and his father (my FIL, rip) is why I am as conservative as I am today.

When I voted in 2008, I had to show photo ID. I was not oppressed. It was really no big deal. Anyone who objects to photo ID is really pro-voter fraud. There is no nice way to put it. They are pro-voter fraud.
@ Iron Fist:
Blacks are voting for the wrong Party. The left uses them and I hope they wake up.
Col Allen West gets it!
If you have pride in what you’ve got, people want to be a part of it. America is not merely the land of economic opportunity, though it is that; it is the greatest political experiment in the history of the world. It is the only place in the world where anyone, of any background, can opt in if they want to, without longstanding ethnic barriers or the bloody histories of other places.
Now, one could say that is because America is “new,” and we still think of ourselves as a young country. But there are, actually, fewer countries with governments as old as ours than you might think. The British monarchy, maybe, but they’re sinking by the bows. The French have changed over numerous times since America was founded—and when America was founded, Italy and Germany were not even united countries. So, while we think of ourselves as “new,” we are actually rather old—something which shows, or should, that the Constitution has weathered the tests of time.
People who come for the money should want to opt into this grandeur—but we don’t get them wanting to if we are not proud of what has been built here, and don’t make it desirable to join. Pretending there is no difference between America and the rest of the world is not the way to solve the illegal problem; it is to say, “We’d love you to come and join us—if you do it legally. Otherwise, you are betraying what you claim to want to join from the outset.”

I hope so too, but I’m not holding my breath. They have been heavily propagandized against the GOP for the last couple of generations.
The GOP has to embrace black conservatives wherever they find them, of course, but I think spending a lot of effort reaching out to blacks is a waste of time. We need to concentrate on Hispanics and Asians. IMO.
@ buzzsawmonkey:
Yes, France and Spain are not the same States.
BHO is our worst president ever in only one year.
The closest that we have come before is FDR’s VP Henry Wallace.
If FDR had not repalced him with Truman , Wallace would have been President, every bit as radical as Obama.

Odd thing is, Dallas County and Dallas itself went all Democrat last election and it was the latino vote that carried the liberal Democrats into power in Dallas.
Same thing in Houston, thus Houston is now a “safe house city” .
IMHO these new “fake ID” , “forged SS of a dead American”, “anchor baby”, vote Democrat for on the dole because they came from a full blown socialist country such as ,Mexico, Brazil, Columbia ect.
The hispanic Democrats are the most liberal of Texas U.S. House members and all support full blown amnesty.
El Paso, San Antonio, the lower valley all Democrat and growing stronger every election.
like that
The Catholic church is the ring leader of the liberal lean of these from South America, too, they are the ring leaders of the “open border” , anchor baby, Dirvers lis. and look the other way when
non-citizens vote.
Wage Slave support by the Democrat party is one of the great evils of American history.
IMHO
@ chickadee:
But it’s the EFFORT of actually going and getting that free ID that makes it so RACIST and even ‘classist’ to suggest someone go get one. My God, if they’re working at some EVIL corporation, they never get any time off to get a drivers license or photo ID, otherwise they’d lose their job.

You, each of you are now in the same position of the Apache Nation.
You will have to fight for your land or you will loose it to unchecked illegal immigration just as the Apache did in their
fight of 350 years.
Ask yourselfs, why is it that both of the parts of the two party evil money cult in D.C. yearn for the “wage slave” easy to sway new SS funders who will replace your “tea bagging” selfs???
You know the Constitution, you have tasted freedom, you know the history, the evil in D. C. does not like your personal responsibility ways.
So they import your replacements right in front of your nose.

Another rightwing spic here <—<<< And I am definitely against illegal immigration, and the reasons for that include the cultural. I am hispanic, BUT I AM NOT MEXICAN. Immigration has to be done in such a way that allows integration and AMERICANIZATION. Let people in too quickly and they form enclaves that prevents that integration. We do need immigrants. The vanishing white fertility rate makes it absolutely necessary, but immigrants have to adapt to us, not us to them.
